Holy Spirit (Part 2) - Desiring the Holy Spirit
Part 2 of "Holy Spirit ", Pastor Roses explores the difference between the Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit. The Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) are the evidence of God's nature within us—love, joy, peace, patience, and more—helping us fulfill the work of God in our hearts, while the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) enable us to walk in God's power and accomplish His work in the world. Roses also asks: Are you free? (2 Corinthians 3:17). The Holy Spirit brings freedom from shame, striving, condemnation, and failure, and gives us freedom to repent, praise, live in grace, and obey (Galatians 5:13-18). The Holy Spirit doesn't speak to those who deserve it but to those who desire it (Galatians 3:2-6,14). Finally, we are reminded that while the Pharisees saw a God who makes demands, true followers see a God who makes loving invitations
